districts. governor romney did not get a single vote, get this, in 59 philly voting districts. not a single vote. that is 19,605 voters for the president and zero votes for governor mitt romney. it doesn't stop there. according to the cleveland plain dealer president obama also won all of the votes in 16 districts in cleveland that every single one of the votes in those districts all went for the presidential. so there is reasonable concern for suspicious voting trends. think the american people deserve to know the truth. is it possible that governor romney didn't appeal to a single voter in these places? joining me to explain these numbers is former hillary clinton spokesman and david web? >> it is possible? >> it's possible. it's not unprecedented. i did a quick search today where mitt romney got hundred percent of the vote across the country. it happened in 2008 in 19 districts in one city in the same state. it happened in 2004 where george bush got zero votes and john kerry votes got in some precincts. >> sean: we're talking about 16 districts? >> mathematically it is possible but the b

to mitt romney. governor, is the president pressing his luck or is this what you do when you win an election? >> it's what you do when you win an election. in the long-term it's really needed. if we're going to do four or five trillion dollars of a debt deal, you have to have that level of revenue. i think we can have it. the meeting with the ceos is very important. as you know, judd gregg and i are co-chairs of the campaign to fix the debt. business has responded big-time. they've given over $35 million for a public relations campaign and business has to take the message to the republicans in congress that we're serious about this. this has to happen. it has to happen with significant revenue and that revenue not only comes from raising rates on the top 2%, but it comes from getting rid of a lot of loopholes. some plans with governor romney espoused during the campaign. >> there's a difference, governor, isn't there, between funding an organization that says get something done and funding an organization that says raise our taxes by a lot, right? they're not the same necessarily

, good evening, as you know this conference call just wrapped up hours ago, governor romney blamed this defeat on what he described as big gifts that the president had given to some of the democrat's most loyal voting blocki blockinging block. he called it the old play book rule with specific interest groups. he said with regard to young people, a forgiveness of college loan interest was a big gift. he added free contraception was very big with college-aged women. and finally, he said obama-care made a difference, likewise with hispanic voters, health care was a big plus. he is scheduled to meet with top advisers tomorrow night. one thing is sure in terms of his future. he said the donors may play a part in helping him select the next republican nominee, but it won't be romney, he said. >> just off the trail, peter alexander, about to get much-needed rest, thank you for being with us. >>> overseas there is serious concern that a new war in the middle east just became more likely, after the israelis took out the top commander of hamas in a tough attack. more on the report from marti

and governor romney and your wives were shocked by the results that were coming in. true? >> it is true. yeah. the polling we had, the numbers we were looking at looked like we stood a pretty good chance of winning, so when the numbers came in going the other direction, when we saw the kind of turnout that was occurring in urban areas which were really fairly unprecedented, it did come as a bit of a shock. those are the tough kind of losses to have, the ones that catch you by surprise. >> some critics jumped on those remarks and said historically urban has often been used as a code word for african-american voters. we can't say for sure what ryan meant there. but keeping them honest the election day picture was a bit more complicated than that. turnout among african-american voters was up this year and turnout was up in swing state cities but down in others. and the presidents win was not solely dependent on black or urban voters. he also won more than 7 in 10 asian, latino voters, 6 in 10 young voters and 55% of women voters nationwide. what's more, white voters played a big role in the pres

interesting numbers to me, maybe not surprising in the polls, was the president obama defeated governor romney among self-described moderates by 15 points. so this is an expression. and he asked a lot of complications complicated questions about who are they. a lot of people would say that president obama is centerleft. but it's all compared to. compared to governor romney, and i think really the republican party, including the statements that todd akin and richard murdoch made, it seemed like they were are off from the center. as an independent, i can give advice to both parties. >> ronald reagan and jack kemp -- the party of upward mobility, that didn't seem to be the republican party this year. now, maybe it was because of this very effective attack campaign against mitt romney and bain capital and 47% of all that stuff. but i think hispanics and asians -- and a lot of women, they didn't vote for the republican party not just if you are hispanic because you think their anti-immigrant, but because it doesn't seem like the kind of party that will create a country in which you are were going t

million people that voted for governor romney my question is do you hear our voices? the democratic party speaks about compromise. do you hear the voices that we have put across to you guys? at this point we need real compromise. do you see anything happening on the horizon that will take our voices, the people that voted against raising taxes into account, is this something we will see some, or will the fiscal fiasco drag on forever? guest: we are hearing your voice. we are hearing everybody's voice. we have looking at this in balanced way. in order to have balance, you have to make sure that the scales are not to it. in terms of the tax policy, the truth of the matter is scales have been tipped in favor of the wealthy. we really want balance. a report showed that over 90% going back to 2010 show that 90% of the income -- 90% of the income growth went to the upper 1%. people favor a more balanced approach where everybody does their fair share, including the very wealthy. this is not an effort to punish. it is an effort to say to people, "do your share." we are listening to everybody. the

those two great attributes with the former president. and governor romney, he's a problem solver, he's a business person. he knows how to read a balance sheet. he knows how to make numbers balance in a good manner. i was heartened this morning on the front page of the "new york times" when senator conrad talked about he was receptive to, open-minded about this capping of deductions at the higher income level. that's one way to go at it. so that was really the thought behind the piece. >> guys, did you ever have a tree stump on your lawn you just had to get rid of so you got your neighbors all together and start hacking away and finally you had to pull the damn thing out? think of mitch mcconnell as that tree stump. there he is in the way of you cutting the lawn. he shouldn't be there. he's not growing. he's not getting any better. today mitch mcconnell did not signal, a big surprise, he was ready to compromise. the tree stump ain't moving. let's listen. >> the time for the president to lead is now, and that means offering a concrete plan that takes into account the fact that half the

word the thanks to our own nominees, governor romney and congressman ryan. they may not have won the race, but htey earned our respect and admiration. they fought valiantly for the cause of limited government, free enterprise, opportunity for all, and a stronger social safety net that is there when people need it most. they fought for the kind of constitutional conservatism americans believe in so very strongly. their lost says nothing to diminish the importance of these enduring principles or our commitment to keep fighting for them. we thank them. we thank their families for making the sacrifices in the presidential campaign demands. i want to assure everyone the cause goes on. on ot the task at hand -- in politics, there is always a temptation among those who win office to think they have a mandate to do what they will. it is the important to remember in this case the voters reelected a republican- controlled house last week and a closely divided senate. in a government of three equal branches, that is hardly irrelevant. most people may focus on the white house, but the gover

governor bobby jindal, one of the lucky ones who dodged the bullet in mitt romney's selection of a running mate tells politico to stop being the stupid party. we cannot be, we must not be the party that simply protects the rich. it can't be tolerated within our party. we have also had enough of this dumbed-down conservatism, we need to stop insulting the intelligence of the voters. joining me now, msnbc's joy reed and ari melber. stop being the stupid party. that's a tall order now for the republicans, isn't it? >> yeah. bobby jindal, i guess he has coherent advice. i am not sure if you look at his stance, teaching creationism in public schools, not sure he is going to help them in his own state, and it's interesting that paul ryan sort of made these assertions that we didn't really lose, we actually won because the house of representatives, he made a good point. look at florida. all of the republicans in swing districts, people who were the most associated with paul ryan's ideas, people like allen west, for instance, lost. they lost in those swing districts because those guys, especially

for strong, all day long sinus and headache relief. >>> we have heard nothing from mitt romney since he lost the race republicans thought he should have won. the governor has been silent since he walked off the stage in boston a week ago in defeat. today we finally heard from him. but i guess we wish we hadn't. the new york times reports on a 20-minute conference call he held today with his national finance committee. during the call he blamed the loss on president obama's gifts to minorities and young voters. the times says, quote, mr. romney said the president had followed the old playbook of wooing specific interest groups, especially the african-american community, the his panic community, and young people. mr. romney explained, with targeted gifts and initiatives. in each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups, mr. romney said. our strategy worked well with many people. but for those who were given a specific gift, if you will, our strategy did not work terribly well. he thinks he lost because of so-called gifts? this shows just how clueless he is. joining me now
